Re: Finally making a report !
Epidural injections and nerve blocks have diminishing returns. You'll need them more and more frequently as time passes. Same with the meds. Look into physical therapy and acupuncture. Sciatica pain is no joke and the avenues of non surgical relief vary in effectiveness on a case by case basis. Spinal decompression and inversion tables can aid in relief. So can yoga...
While I don't suffer from sciatica I'm just about bone on bone in my cervical spine with degenerative disc disease. When it flares up it can take me 45 min just to get out of bed. Rough for a 33 yr old. I'm holding off on surgery until I'm comfortable with the technology.
But kudos for coping and banging some fish dude. Many of us unfortunately feel your pain! Mine goes away temporarily when I fish!
